Epoxy Based & Solvent Resistant Inks

MEETS MIL SPEC.: CID A-A-56032D Types I, II & III Formerly: MIL-I-43553b

AVAILABLE COLORS: Black 27038 & White 17875 (other colors require special order and minimum).

PROPERTIES: Superior adhesion to epoxy, glass, metal or other nonporous surfaces. Excellent resistance to abrasion, MEK, alcohol, TCE, flux removers, salt, acid and alkali solutions when properly cured. Designed for rubber stamping or offset printing.

APPLICATIONS: Used for part marking in the automotive, appliance, electronics, glass and ceramic industries. Designed to be used with rubber stamps and on offset printers.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: #6050 Clipaks ™ contain precisely weighed portions of ink (10 grams) and catalyst (5 grams). Operators no longer have to worry about weighing the two components, contamination of jar contents or the mess usually associated with mixing epoxy inks in small quantities. Just remove the plastic clip, mix the two parts together thoroughly, allow an induction period of 30 minutes, cut off one corner of the package and dispense the ink. When used with a rubber stamp, use a brayer / hard rubber roller or similar device to roll the ink into a thin draw down on a glass, vinyl or metal plate before transferring to the stamp.

CURE CYCLES: This is a room temperature cure ink, dries to handle in 6-8 hrs. and requires 4-7 days to develop solvent resistance. May also be force cured at one of the following time/temperature cycles: 150°F(66C)-90 min. or 200°F(93C)-1hr. or 250°F(121C)-30 min. or 300°F(149C)-10 min. or 350°F(177C)-6 min. POT LIFE: 5 hours SHELF LIFE: 18 months.

SURFACES: Ceramics, phenolic, polyesters, melamine, silicone, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, glass, electronic parts DRYING TIME: dries to touch within 2 - 3 hours. Adding heat shortens curing time. Max. adhesion and chemical resistance takes 7 - 10 days. Requires addition of catalyst immediately before use.

1. The clip is removed allowing the two sides to migrate.

2. The two components are mixed thoroughly by kneading and dispensed directly from the packet.
